Mother Goose, by Kate Greenaway
Mother Goose rhymes and tales are older than many of us know. They’ve been recited and have taught kids to read and to memorize text for decades. Some provide great learning tools for simple reading and memorization while others are great when shared with parents and used for short bedtime story components.

We’ve edited the Mother Goose rhymes here to make a small and manageable book that is easy to download and print to read to young children.

The Little Red Hen is a tale about sharing the work and sharing the rewards for the work. It’s an older story, written many years ago that teaches timeless lessons about the rewards of hard work and what it can do for you.

It also tells us why it’s a great idea to help our family and friends to do those chores that need to be done every day. Reading a story to your child is one of the best ways to improve their vocabulary and their reading skills and its a great way to bond with your kids.

It’s our pleasure to share the Little Red Hen book in our Kidde Time Free Library.
